National Ample Time Day

Description

National Ample Time Day is a day dedicated to reflecting on one's priorities, daily structure, and health, in an effort to create more than enough time in a day to complete necessary tasks, and to live a more fulfilling life.

National Ample Time Day is observed next on Thursday, November 8th, 2018. It has always been observed annually on November 8th.

How to Observe

Celebrate the day by focusing, reflecting, and working on things that will help you have ample time each day. Beverly Beuerman King, a resiliency and wellness strategist, has come up with a few pointers that may be of use to you today:

figure out your priorities—it will be easier to make decisions about your time when you know what they are; write them down and see which ones are the most important

also write down weekly and daily to-do lists—weekly lists map out your priorities for the week; daily lists detail more of your daily jobs, tasks, and chores

watch out for distractions—things that aren't part of your priorities may suck you in; TV and social media may be part of your relaxation time, but make sure to account for them in your daily lists, and limit their time

simplify—get rid of things you don't need that take up too much of your time; conserve time by making a route for when you drive to multiple places at once; plan out meals in advance

take care of yourself—get enough rest, eat well, and exercise, so that your body is running at full capacity and you are able to get as much done in a day as possible
